  How can I edit/change the Names of the Blogs I Follow? For Example I added: Benzinga – Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals. I would like to change this so that only Benziga appears.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The blogs I follow widget automatically displays the blogs you follow. You cannot edit what the widget displays. https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/blogs-i-follow-widget/

  Thanks for the reply.

  Well that’s not good. When I se the Blogs I Follow Up, I just pasted the URL as requested. Is there anything that I can do when setting the blogs up to have it display a shortened name?

  Hi!

  Just to be clear, you’re referring to the widget on the sidebar of marketlense.wordpress.com, correct? The widgets shown in this screenshot?

  If so, I’m afraid you cannot change the length of the title there. The blog title is set by the owner of the actual blog. When you use the widget, it pulls the entire blog title set by the owner and displays it on your site.

  Let us know if you need anything else!

  Thanks Jeremey,

  This is my blog. I’m at the beginning of setting this up. Yes, I want to edit the titles in “Blogs That I Follow” as you have annotated. Can’t figure out how to do it.

  Thanks.

  @dmking99—

  @timethief is spot on here :) You cannot edit those items that are generated in the Blogs I Follow widget.
